Eco-driving is a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to
optimise
their fuel consumption and
C
o
2 emissions.
Eco-driving
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.
During
acceleration change up early.
With
an automatic or electronic
gearbox,
give preference to automatic
mode
and avoid pressing the
accelerator
pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you
to
engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in
the
instrument panel, follow it straight
away
.
For
vehicles fitted with an electronic
or
automatic gearbox, this indicator
appears
only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking rather
than
the brake pedal, and press the
accelerator
progressively.
These
practices contribute towards a
reduction
in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions
and
also
help
to
reduce
the
background
traffic
noise.
If
your
vehicle
has
cruise
control,
make
use
of
the
system
at
speeds
above
25
mph
(40
km/h)
when
the
traffic
is
flowing
well.
Control the use of your
electrical equipment
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Switch
off the headlamps and front
foglamps
when the level of light does
not
require their use.
avoid running the engine before
moving
off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle
will warm up much faster
while
driving.
a
s a passenger, if you avoid
connecting
your multimedia devices
(film,
music, video game...), you
will
contribute towards limiting the
consumption
of electrical energy, and
so
of fuel.
d
isconnect your portable devices
before
leaving the vehicle.
Before
moving
off,
if
the
passenger
compartment
is
too
warm,
ventilate
it
by opening the windows and air vents
before
using
the
air
conditioning.
Above
30
mph
(50
km/h),
close
the
windows
and
leave
the
air
vents
open.
Remember
to
make
use
of
equipment
that
can
help
keep
the
temperature
in
the
passenger
compartment
down
(sunroof
and
window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it
has
automatic
regulation,
as
soon
as
the
desired
temperature
is
attained.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily on standby - STOP mode
- during stops in the traffic (red
lights,
traffic jams, or other...).
The
engine restarts automatically -
ST
ART
mode - as soon as you want to
move
off.
The
restart takes place instantly,
quickly
and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system
reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust
emissions as well as the noise
level
when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP modeThe "ECO" warning lamp
comes
on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into
standby:
-
with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-
with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8
km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever into
position
N. If
your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a
time counter calculates the sum of
the
periods in STOP
mode during a
journey
. It rests itself to zero every time
the
ignition is switched on with the key.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, for your comfort during
parking
manoeuvres, STOP
mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP
mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking,
power steering, for example.
n
ever refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key.Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP
mode is not invoked when:
-
the vehicle is on a steep slope
(rising or fallin
g),
-
the driver's door is open,
-
the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-
the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine
start using the key,
-
the
engine is needed to maintain
a
comfortable temperature in the
passenger
compartment,
-
demisting
is on,
-
some
special conditions (battery
charge,
engine temperature,
braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning
lamp flashes for a
few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

the
brake pedal released, when
you
move the gear lever to
position
A or M,
●
or
when you engage reverse
gear
.
With
a manual gearbox in STOP
mode,
if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning
lamp comes on or a message
is
displayed asking you to depress the
clutch
pedal to restart the engine.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For
your safety and comfort, START
is
invoked
automatically when:
-
you open the driver's door
,
-
you unfasten the driver's seat belt, In this case the
"ECO"
warning
lamp flashes for few
seconds,
then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need to maintain a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment, it may be
preferable
to deactivate Stop & Start.
At any time, press the "ECO
OFF" switch to deactivate the
system.
This
is
confirmed by the switch warning
lamp
coming on accompanied by a
message
in the screen.
If
the
system has been deactivated
in
STOP
mode, the engine restarts
immediately
.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confirmed
by the switch warning
lamp
going off and a message in the
instrument
panel.
The
system is reactivated
automatically
at every new start
using
the key.
